Fault detection and diagnosis is an important problem in process engineering. It is the
central component of abnormal event management (AEM) which has attracted a lot of …

This paper reviews the role of uncertainty in the identification of mathematical models of
water quality and in the application of these models to problems of prediction. More …

It is well known that finite element predictions are often called into question when they are in
conflict with test results. The area known as model updating is concerned with the correction …

Early and accurate fault detection and diagnosis for modern manufacturing processes can
minimise downtime, increase the safety of plant operations, and reduce costs. Such process …

Featuring a model-based approach to fault detection and diagnosis in engineering systems,
this book contains up-to-date, practical information on preventing product deterioration …

The supervision of technical processes is the subject of increased development because of
the increasing demands on reliability and safety. The use of process computers and …

Structural systems often show nonlinear behavior under severe excitations generated by
natural hazards. In that condition, the restoring force becomes highly nonlinear showing …

This is a revised version of the 1984 book of the same name but considerably modified and
enlarged to accommodate the developments in recursive estimation and time series …

Many processes in science and engineering can be described by partial differential
equations (PDEs). Traditionally, PDEs are derived by considering first principles of physics …

Mathematical models of dynamic systems are required in most areas of scientific enquiry
and take various forms, such as differential equations, difference equations, state-space …
